Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Communication systems positioned within a cab for agricultural operations include at least one antenna element and a communication module having a cellular modem. A machine (e.g., tractor, combine, etc.) for agricultural operations includes a cab for an operator of the machine and a communication system adjacent a window or roof of the cab.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A machine for agricultural operations, comprising: a cab for an operator of the machine, the cab comprising a roof and at least one window; and a communication system attached to the at least one window, the communication system including a primary antenna, a diversity antenna, and a communication module having a cellular modem, wherein a first distance from the primary antenna to the communication module and a second distance from the diversity antenna to the communication module are selected to reduce signal degradation for the communication system. 2. The machine of claim 1 , wherein the communication system is positioned in an elevated position of the cab adjacent the roof of the cab. 3. The machine of claim 1 , wherein the at least one window comprises a side window of the cab. 4. The machine of claim 1 , wherein the at least one window comprises a rear window of the cab. 5. The machine of claim 1 , wherein the at least one window comprises a front window of the cab. 6. The machine of claim 1 , wherein the communication system further comprises a housing enclosing the cellular modem. 7. The machine of claim 6 , wherein the primary antenna and the diversity antenna are positioned within the housing. 8. The machine of claim 6 , wherein the primary antenna and the diversity antenna are integrated with the housing. 9. The machine of claim 6 , wherein the primary antenna and the diversity antenna form an external surface of the housing. 10. A machine for agricultural operations, comprising: a cab for an operator of the machine, the cab comprising a roof and at least one window, and a communication system attached to the at least one window, the communication system including at least one antenna element, a communication module having a cellular modem, and a housing enclosing the cellular modem, wherein the at least one antenna element is a static sticker affixed to a window of the cab.
